A Big Step

[BabyPiglet]

I think that the TB has made a big step yesterday. Now I think it's time that we stop just talking about how bad it is and actually do something. We should talk about what to do when we feel like we have to bash or argue. Everybody has these urges and I think it's time we found a way to control them...

So who has some suggestions of what to actually do to get everything under control?

 

[VolleyballQt07]

Please, nobody flame me. These are my opinions:

-Newcomers should be nicer and open to helpful tips and suggestions we give them to help them feel comfortable on here.

-Us older members should limit the number of random, pointless, stupid threads. Because most fights start on the "different threads".

-Try to limit the number of hijacked threads(yes, i will too).

-Be in guidelines for everything;signature, avatar, etc. Because I know some fights start because people ask others to get their sigs legal and then the other person gets mad.

-Be considerate to others. Don't lie about things you have/don't have. And don't say any rude comments on threads with pictures because its hurtful if you post something you worked on for a long time or just a regular pic for that matter and some says something negative or mean about it.

-Come on the boards with a positive attitude. Don't come on and think, "Hmmm, who can I hurt today with my words?".

-Try to comment each other as possible. Like I know I am one to blame but a lot of the POTC obsessed people work hard on their signatures and I say negative things. I'll try to be more positive and say more comments.

-HAVE A NICE DAY!

Good suggestions Brit

Some threads are made for debates and that is fine but debate about the subject and just don't bash. A lot of people come on here to get away from that at there school...

If a person is just asking your opinion like "Where to find some good shoes" please don't make it inot this big thing about where they shop. It's kinda childish

I thik all the POTC lovers have had enough. It is just a couple movies theres no reason to go around bashing them for it..

If you feel the need to start yelligng or flaming somebody just take some deep breaths and perhaps walk away for a while..

Please take these suggestions seriously becasue we need to start doind more than talking about it...

Peace

Well said IMO. Great ideas.

These are the links to the threads that were started last night, incase someone here has not read them.:

Yes, there's a lot.

Now, I also think that the ideas Britt listed are great. My only problem is the POTC suggestion made by Jenny. (This is not open to flaming.) It has been mentioned before, and I'll mention it again. The only POTC Eye Candy thread is the only POTC-related thread that's allowed to remain opening.

I'm just reminding all of you.

 

[BabyPiglet]

Yes I've read all of those. I just thought this could be the thread that told suggested what people could do when they felt like bashing...

 

[HSMndLKfan92]

Okay, another idea?

If you reply to a thread, and you realize that what you said could be offensive, please, think twice about what you post. I can't exactly controll what you will say, though. Backspace is the key.

 

[PatriotsRule]

It's good that us PotC obsessed fangirls can show our faces again. I'm also glad we've stopped obsessing over the problem and are focused on the solution. Me? Just calm down. That's what I have to say. Somebody insults you? Be calm about it, don't spout off.

Use your head. That's basically what I'm trying to say.

Be the bigger person.If your feeling tension,drop it and move on to another thread.It'll save you alot of heart ache and high blood pressure in the long run!

I feel I posted on here the wrong. I really wish I knew what WAS going on LOL

But I just take it people have been getting at each other's throats on here

I agree with Volleyballqt07

but i also think we should stop making threads about the problems. I personally think it might bring up some feelings and make some people mader which could possibly turn pretty bad. I'm not saying that you shouldn;t have made this thread. Trust me I don't want any more problems to start. I think we need to forgive and defently forget!

 

[ktbutterfly2011]

Uhohkay. I think we should just let this all go. Seriously. We sound like we're at a summer camp or something with all these cheerful threads. But seriously. I like 1 or 2 of them but there are FIVE count them 1-2-3-4-5!!!!!

I know we're trying to keep the TB all "happy-go-lucky" but seriously. We should just take in what we've learned over the past few weeks and days and put it into effect. We don't need all these threads. Whatever happened, happened and whatever WILL happen, WILL happen. You can't fight fate and you can't change the past.

Buttttttt. Thats my opinion. I'm not trying to hurt anyone by saying this, nor do I expect any flaming in return. That's just my .02

Yes, forgive and forget. Nice words! And at least someone agrees with me!

I totally respect this post. Time to start new topics.

- remember the golden rule : treat others like you'd like to be treated. if youre getting ready to post something, read it over until your sure you wouldn't be offended in the slightest by it if it were being sent to you.

- if there IS a problem: i think we need to have some sort of "peer mediation" thing. its easier to talk things out with some help to see each other's argument and side of the story.

- also, always keep in mind that the thing youre on right now, thats called a computer. if its just that bad babe, turn it off. be the bigger person. dont be rude, just be "smarter".

- know when enough is enough. you know you're having a pointless conversation when you're re-wording what you said over again for the fifth time. this also means one needs to use good judgement.

- have an open mind. some people dont live like you do. their ways of living could be different, which alters their personality or interests. not saying that variety isnt a good thing, its not, its beautiful, but just remember that no one is a carbon copy of you. be happy for who you are, and be happy for who others are.

- bring disney back into the forums. it makes everyone happy. thats why we're here. when all else fails:talk disney. there will be common ground somewhere, i promise.

- just a thought, i think we should bring back the "say something nice about a teen diser" thread. i think we need it right now.
